Chapter 422
Chapter 422 Unexpected Ambush
How terrifying was an elite-level magical creature with the territorial advantage?
Greem might not have known the answer to this question before this moment, but now he no longer needed one!
The massive demon-hunting spider skittered about the hall with the agility of a monkey. It easily avoided the spells hurled at it by taking cover behind the pillars. It then scaled the walls and hung from the ceiling with the use of its webbing and spider legs. Tula remained as speedy as ever even when it walked on the roof of the cave.
Every time Tula struck at Greem, its sharp limbs threw the adept into a panic as he scrambled to avoid the attacks. However, any misstep in this environment would cause Greem to land in a spider web trap! What came next was the horrible fate of being consumed by tens of thousands of spiders.
Fortunately, Greem was a destructive fire adept that brought his territorial advantage along with him wherever he went. Once he transformed into the Flame Fiend, every place enveloped by his Ring of Fire would turn into his home field.
The Ring of Fire sizzled when it came into contact with the spiderwebs, like water poured onto boiling magma.
The Decayer had fallen apart near Tula. Suddenly, a green halo flashed above the Decayer, and two slightly smaller Decayers emerged on the spot. They frantically started spitting acid at Tula.
Greem held his staff in his left hand and the Scroll of Voodoo in his right. A radiant red light appeared amid the sound of flipping pages as a violent Chain of Fireballs crashed towards Tula. This Chain of Fireballs was a spell stored in the Scroll of Voodoo. With staff in hand, Greem simultaneously conjured an explosive fireball that he hurled at Tula.
None of these attacks seemed to have considered Unguja’s wellbeing!
Even if Tula intended to use Unguja to block this wave of spells, he would still be damaged by the ensuing shockwave and explosion.
It already knew that adepts were cold and unfeeling people. Trying to threaten them with their ‘subordinates’ was a purely suicidal act. That was why Tula’s six other limbs swiftly moved and carried its body back away from the spells. At the same time that it retreated, Tula raised its legs and threw the badly wounded Unguja at the explosive fireball flying towards them.
Usually, Tula would have charged ahead and braved the attacks to engage Greem in a close range fight. That was its terrifying combat style that it had honed after hundreds of years. Suffering a small wound for a chance to murder the enemy was worth the trade.
However, Tula was deathly afraid of the powerful grimoire Greem had in his hand.
A grimoire that could instantly discharge so many potent spells was likely a magical item. Before Tula figured out how many spells remained in that book, it would never risk its life!
Moreover, the sudden active stance that the human adept was taking gave Tula a sense of danger. It had a vague feeling that there was a plot hidden behind the adept’s actions.
As expected, the human adept immediately disappeared in a flash of fire right after he fired that series of attacks.
Fire Teleportation!
Dammit, where did he intend to teleport to?
Would he go to support that elementium golem’s attacks, or would he rush over for a melee?
Tula raised its four front limbs high up as unease and confusion filled its heart. It then slashed at every inch of space around it with the four sharp limbs. At the same time, it used its other legs to retreat and quickly distance itself from its original position.
At the same moment its massive body was retreating, a pile of rocks at the edge of the cave blew apart. A slender figure dashed out and lunged towards Tula’s thick shell.
More enemies?
The sudden appearance of this enemy scared Tula out of its wits.
It shook its body frantically and tried to shake the enemy away. However, the opponent didn’t seem to care about the injury. They got all the way up to its back and jumped at Tula’s head while ignoring the damage Tula’s thick hair was dealing to their tender skin.
Demon-Hunting Spider Tula was shocked!
It barely managed to turn its head sideways, yet the first thing it saw was a pair of eyes shining with a frightening glow.
